Youth Perceptions of Shemale; Celebrated TV Idols and Inglorious Public Ignominy

Shemale is a condition for a person who is medically male but behaves and acts like a woman. In general, religious and socio-cultural views, the position of shemale is considered as part of a social deviation, which implies limited access to socio-economy, education, and other public spaces. The social marginalization of shemale, in turn, exacerbates the quality of life for shemale themselves. This condition is different from someone who identifies as shemale in the entertainment industry. In the world of entertainment, identity as shemale tends to get better reception and get a special space. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods on several data obtained from a data collection instrument in the form of a questionnaire and interview. The questionnaire was used to assess adolescents' views on the rise of celebrities who use shemale identity as a breaker in the world of entertainment as well as to assess the views of adolescents in accepting shemale groups in various social aspects, such as educational opportunities, work, and also family life which are calculated in numbers spread through an online form. The results of the data show that both in social and entertainment in general, adolescents tend not to reject the existence of a shemale, feel that their behavior is funny, and there are high doubts about whether this is appropriate.


INTRODUCTION
Shemale is a condition for a person who is medically male but behaves and acts like a woman.This is different from banci (khuntsa), which by nature has its biological uniqueness, such as being born with two sexes at once.In general, religious and socio-cultural views, the position of shemale is considered as part of a social deviation, which implies limited access to socio-economy, education, and other public spaces.The social marginalization of shemale, in turn, exacerbates the quality of life for shemale themselves.This condition is different from someone who identifies as shemale in the entertainment industry.In the world of entertainment, identity as shemale tends to get better reception and get a special space.In Indonesia, we know Kabul Basuki by the famous name Tessy, an actor who is a member of the Srimulat group who always plays a female figure.Likewise, in Hollywood films, we know Patrick Swayze as a shemale named Miss Vida Boheme, who was awarded a Golden Globe award for Best Actor in 1995, and John Travolta for playing a woman named Edna Turnblad in the 2007 film Hairspray.
In this position, it is realized that shemale in the real world, compared to the identity of shemale in entertainment, are treated diametrically.Compared to the real world, there is a tendency for the shemale identity in the entertainment world to be more accepted and loved by adolescents, as some of the entertainment facts above have been accepted.This knowledge will be the basis for seeing the mindset and world view of shemale as part of the millennial generation, which in certain aspects has the potential to have implications for the limits of reasonableness in current and future social life.Likewise, understanding shemale among adolescents will be an essential instrument in West Science Interdisciplinary Studies  understanding the social phenomenon of adolescents in placing human and social values at the same time.
This study uses the theory of intrapersonal perception proposed by Joseph A. DeVito.
According to DeVito (2016), the interpersonal perception process takes place in five stages: stimulation, organization, interpretation and evaluation, memory, and remembrance.Researchers also use the theory of perception-forming factors proposed by Rhenald Kasali (2007).This theory explains that the factors that shape perception include cultural background, adopted values, past experiences, and developing news.

LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Sustainable Energy Technologies in Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering has played a significant role in the development of sustainable energy technologies in the 21st century.Engineers and researchers in this field have focused on creating renewable energy systems that are both economical and efficient.Some of the key renewable energy sources include hydropower, wind turbines, and solar photovoltaics, which have the potential to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce reliance on fossil fuels [1]- [6].
A crucial aspect of sustainable energy technology is energy efficiency.Mechanical engineers have concentrated on improving mechanical systems and procedures to utilize less energy.This field of study encompasses the development of enhanced insulation materials, efficient transport methods, and energy-saving HVAC systems [1], [7], [8].In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the potential of renewable energy sources to contribute to the sustainable development of the economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.The implementation of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, in combination with energy storage systems, has been shown to lead to a significant reduction in harmful CO2 and NOX emissions [9]- [11].
As the world continues to face the challenges of climate change and limited fossil fuel resources, the importance of mechanical engineering in the development of sustainable energy technologies will only increase.By focusing on renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency, mechanical engineers can help pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future.

Objectives
The results of this study are expected to be able to: a) Understanding the bias of public acceptance, especially among youth groups, to the shemale phenomenon in social life and entertainment.
b) The emergence of self-awareness to behave by human nature and not supporting anything that encourages sexual deviance.

Research Question
This research is intended to answer a problem formulation, namely: How do adolescents perceive shemale as an identity in the entertainment world and shemale in their daily life?

Research Method
This study aims to examine two types of variables that are symmetrical, namely:  This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods on several data obtained from a data collection instrument in the form of a questionnaire and interview.The questionnaire was used to assess adolescents' views on the rise of celebrities who use shemale identity as a breaker in the world of entertainment as well as to assess the views of adolescents in accepting shemale groups in various social aspects, such as educational opportunities, work, and also family life which are calculated in numbers spread through an online form.

Time and Place
This research was conducted by distributing an online questionnaire containing a series of questions from October 13, 2020, at 05.30 until closing on October 17, 2020, at 15.00.Whereas the place is not limited and adjusted to the respondents obtained.

Experimental Design
The data collection techniques used are as follows:

Shemale in Social Interaction
From the data we have collected, 79.6% answered that they were familiar with the term shemale before, even though most of them did not have shemale acquaintances in the scope of their interactions, whether it was friends, family, relatives, or simply acquaintances with shemale.
However, their answers varied when asked about their attitude toward war.42.5% answered disagree, 16% answered agree, 34.9% were doubtful, and 6.6% did not answer when asked whether they would stay away from their acquaintances if they were shemale oriented.42.1% reject the orientation of their shemale acquaintances, 43.9% still have doubts about this, and 7.5% support it.
When presented with a statement that they felt that shemale were neither male nor female, 24.6% agreed with this statement, 41.5% answered disagree, and 33.8% answered doubtfully.

Shemale in The World of Entertainment
From the data we have collected, 71.9% answered that they are familiar with shemaleoriented figures in the entertainment industry, only 1.6% have met directly with transgender celebrity figures, and 1.1% have taken pictures with transgender celebrities.As many as 39% of them agreed when given the statement that they felt the behavior of transgender women on television was funny, followed by 32.1% disagreed, and 27.3% were doubtful.Meanwhile, regarding their attitude towards the behavior, they stated that it was inappropriate; 46.5% expressed doubt, 29.4% agreed, and 23% disagreed.The significant distance between doubting and agreeing, also taking into account their opinion of the previous statement, can be seen that most of them feel spontaneously amused when they see shemale figures on television but are still unsure about their views.
What is interesting is that 37.4% thought that the behavior of transgender figures on TV reflected their daily activities, followed by 25.7% who disagreed, and 35.8% were doubtful.This means that most adolescents consciously like transgender figures not only as a "character" but also as an identity.Their opinion on how they dress was clear, with the majority arguing that their clothes were not attractive but inappropriate.
